SAMUEL PARRY, OF CLAY CENTER, KANSAS.

CALF-WEANER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

No. 825,554. Patented July 10,1906.

Application filed July 22, 1905. Serial No. 270,746.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL PARRY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Clay Center, in the county of Clay and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Calf-W'eaners, of which the following is a specification.

Hy invention relates to apparatus designed to prevent calves from nursing cows; and the object of the invention is to produce such a device which will be effective in weaning calves. This I do in a simple, cheap, and easily-applied combination of sack, straps, snap-hooks, buckles, and halter, which will be more clearly understood by attention to the following description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a view in perspective of a cow with my complete device properly placed thereon Fig. 2, a view in perspective of the calf-weaner alone; and Fig. 3, a view of the under side of the sack, showing the ventholes.

Similar letters of reference indicate like arts throughout the several views.

The three-cornered sack a, which may be made of canvas or any other suitable material,is provided withvent-holes b and rings m, secured to its several corners, and is suspended beneath the udders by means of the girth d and straps c c, which for convenience in applying and removing are provided with snapooks j and p p, respectively. Said girth d passes around the body in front of the hips, and to this girth is secured said straps c 0, one on each side of the backbone, extending back over the rump and down between thehind legs to the rear corner of said sack, to which they are attached by means of snap-hooks p p engaging the ring thereto secured. A cross-strap e connects and holds in place said straps c c.

For preventing the cow from nursing herself I use the harness illustrated in Fig. 1, which harness is connected to the strap g of the girth d, as shown.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The calf-weaner consisting of the sack suspended beneath the udders of the mother animal, a girth attached to the forward end of said sack, a pair of straps attached to the rear end thereof extending out between the rear legs and up over the rump and secured to said girth and a cross-strap connecting such suspension-straps, all substantially as shown and described.

2. The calf-weaner consistin of the sack provided with vent-holes, a girt attached to the forward end of said sack, straps attached to the rear end thereof and passing between the hind legs and up over the rump and secured to said girth and a cross-strap connecting such. suspension-straps, all substantially as shown and described.

3. A device as described consistim of a triangular-shaped and perforated sac; having rings secured at its corners, a girth having hooks attached at its ends and said hooks connected each to a ring at the front of the sack, a pair of straps having hooks attached thereto connected at the rear of the sack to the third ring and their other ends connectep to the girth, and a cross-strap connecting said pair of straps.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

SAMUEL PARRY.
